Re: Horten 229: What is real, what is exaggeration?

Quote:
What matters is time wasted by a well-known aircraft manufacturer on building a replica that was not a replica at all.
Ed (and Nick), Northrop spent $250,000 and 2,500 hours to build the "replica," my sources tell me. And it was Northrop that built it. For that minuscule expenditure (for a company that builds bombers that cost one billion dollars apiece), they got an hour of TV time under the guise of National Geographic and ran a "documentary" film that we're still talking about.

That is not "time wasted," that is an enormous PR coup.
